After building a 25-match win streak in the Big 10 conference, Nebraska volleyball’s success translated to the professional scene on November 25. Three Huskers seniors, Merritt Beason, Lindsay Krause, and Leyla Blackwell, gave the team yet another reason to celebrate after getting drafted into the Pro Volleyball Federation. Now, sophomore Bergen Reilly has added another Big 10 honor to the celebrations.
While Reilly will have to ways to go before making it to a PVF team, the setter is shaping up to be a standout. After Nebraska’s 3-0 sweep against rivals Wisconsin, Bergen Reilly has earned her fifth Big 10 weekly setter award. “This time she shares it with Penn State’s Izzy Starck. Reilly averaged 12.83 assists per set with 11 digs, five kills, four blocks and two aces in sweeps against Iowa and Wisconsin last week. The Huskers hit .355 in the two wins,” Lincoln Arneal of the Huskers Illustrated posted on X.
